About Me

As a little girl, Christina Shirley loved the annual vacations she’d take with her parents. She knew that she’d continue the tradition when she had her own children–and now travel, family, food, and fun are at the heart of her blog, The Shirley Journey.

Drawing inspiration from her loving husband Tom, and their two active boys, Charlie and Owen, Christina shows women how to take charge of their kitchens, vacations and weight. The Maryland mom’s blog is a guide to navigating life and motherhood, with parenting tips, travel advice, and confidence-boosting celebrations.

The Shirleys make vacations a priority–traveling to Kentucky, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh, Christina’s documented the details of their trips. From making long car rides an adventure to the best activities for kids in Turks and Caicos, she’s covered family friendly destinations and included the best vehicles to get there.

Although they’ve journeyed across the country, the Shirley’s favorite destination is their kitchen. Whipping up meals for the whole family to enjoy, Christina shares easy to follow recipes for comfort foods, decadent desserts and grab and go lunches.

The kitchen is also a place where Christina’s made significant changes–she’s partnered with Jenny Craig to promote a healthier lifestyle, losing over 45 pounds in the process. Encouraging everyday moms, Christina shares the fitness and lifestyle shifts that helped motivate her.

From her adventures as a stay at home mom to her travels across the globe, you’ll find a recipe for joy along The Shirley Journey.
